And There you go ! Your co-contractors are added to the mission.

 co-contractors

Distribute the project fees among the co-contractors. To do this, you have 3 options:

Global: Enter the overall distribution percentage per co-contractor under the co-contractor's name. OOTI will distribute this percentage phase by phase, which you can then adjust manually. The amounts will be automatically deducted from your share.

By amount (recommended): Manually specify the portion each co-contractor takes for each phase. The amounts will be automatically deducted from your share.

By percentage: Manually specify the percentage each co-contractor takes for each phase. The amounts will be automatically deducted from your share.

The agency's share is the result of contracting the co-contractors' fees.

III/ Invoicing

In co-contracting, you will only invoice your share. The invoiced turnover of the agency will only take into account your fees.
However, you can download PDFs of additional invoices, specific to each co-contractor, as well as a PDF of the overall fees.
